A new style wall map depicting South Africa at the scale of 1:2.000.000, has been released to coincidise with the Chief Directorate's 80th Anniversary Celebration. The one-sided colour printed map shows state, provincial and administrative boundaries, further on those of National Parks and Game Reserves. The neighbouring states are depicted, but, as for Namibia and Botswana, not in total, as the map range is 21°15'-35°00'South und 14°00'-34°00'East.

Amongst a host of cartographic improvements the following deserve special mention:

- Generalisation has been carefully optimised to improve legibility - A range of five layer tints indicates elevation but no contours are shown- International and Provincial boundaries and names are boldly displayed - The hitherto invisible dormitory settlements attached to towns are displayed
